@shirinmak

When you launch the game through Steam you have the option to launch the editor instead. If not, try reinstalling the whole program, or launch the editor manually through the games files (I think you can do that anyway)

Where can I launch the GEM editor?
shirinmak 10 Dec, 2018 @ 6:25pm 
Where can I find the mission?

Now that I think of it, I should be a lot more careful about making reccomendations to mod devs. I do it sometimes, but I never actually thought of it very much from their perspective. Will definitely do that in the future.

I know it must take a lot of patience but just bear in mind the majority just literally have no clue. Thats all.
Moduxus 10 Jun, 2018 @ 8:57am 
Not everyone is super smart with PC's, just because you know what to do doesnt mean others do or even where to go to find out. I dont think they mean to be annoying, just simply dont know..
fartbucket 10 Jun, 2018 @ 8:48am 
You don't really have to like or get along with them, it's okay to be irrational and frustrated/annoyed by people who demand stuff when they don't know what they're talking about, that's just how people act. I respect the effort you're going to put in, though, that can be really difficult.

@Soulless Communist Weeaboo

I'm just trying to be as honest as possible. Maybe disdain implies more of a negative feeling than I mean, but I feel really "ugh" towards them. It's irrational but it's how I feel, I'll definitely try to be less mardy in future
fartbucket 10 Jun, 2018 @ 6:42am 
I wouldn't use the word "disdain." I don't dislike, disrespect, or otherwise have negative feelings towards people who don't fully grasp things that I do or create (It isn't mods, it's other stuff, but this is mostly still applicable). Annoyed or frustrated might be a better word for it, but not disdain.
Moduxus 8 Jun, 2018 @ 8:26am 
Fair enough, thats a pretty valid argument. Not everyone is not appreciating it though, I'm sure they would if they could get it to work, which is what some were asking. But yeah, fair.

@BlackMammoth

I used to wonder the exact same thing before I put stuff up on the workshop.

Basically when you've spent a long time making something, you can't help but feel disdain for people that don't appreciate it for what it is. Sounds harsh but that's honestly what it's like when you get people asking "why not make it into a mission" or "how do I use editor", especially when I've explained this over and over again in the comments on every single map that I've posted.

And is it easier for me to tell them? It takes 5 minutes to search YouTube for GEM Editor Tutorial and learn how to get a map running, and that's without waiting for me to resond. At least I respond to people's comments and don't leave them in the dark, which is what a LOT of content creators do.

I do understand what you mean though
Moduxus 7 Jun, 2018 @ 2:12pm 
Dont understand why you wouldnt help people out that have downloaded your creation. Sure there is youtube, but its much easier and more instant for you to just tell them.

@Rocket_Rohan

Making it a mission is a lot more difficult and negates all the customization options that are so plentiful in the GEM editor. If you really want to play this then watch a YouTube video on how to use the GEM editor it's not that hard at all.
Thesh 5 Jun, 2018 @ 1:59am 
i cant seem to work this out in editor. Cant you just make this a mission and not for editor
♠Jäger𝓒𝓩♣ 19 Feb, 2018 @ 12:23am

slop_dosh  [author] 18 Feb, 2018 @ 9:30am 
@jenicek.rezac

there's youtube tutorials on how to use the editor if you can't figure it out
♠Jäger𝓒𝓩♣ 18 Feb, 2018 @ 8:33am 
How can I play this map ?
( I have it in editor but nothing happens. Only weird trenches without soldiers.)

Can i play that map in MP?
slop_dosh  [author] 8 Jul, 2017 @ 9:01am 
@mmsalcedo2001

Launch the Editor by selecting it in the launch screen/options thing when you run the game, in the very top right corner there's a button, click on that to open a menu which should let you load up TheSomme. Press F3 and do the same thing for the mission

Oalf 15 May, 2017 @ 10:57am

Oalf 15 May, 2017 @ 10:56am 
@Crusader 188
yeah a verdun map would be awesome alone but i also remember hearing it had a fort called verdun as well or that could have been a town i forget but i remember its a weird area
Crusader 188 15 May, 2017 @ 4:45am 
could a verdun map be mad
slop_dosh  [author] 12 May, 2017 @ 6:58am

Try reinstalling the game and try again
Oalf 11 May, 2017 @ 7:38pm

SuperSayan68 14 Apr, 2017 @ 10:11am 
you gotta buy a campaigne before i can get the editor
slop_dosh  [author] 14 Apr, 2017 @ 8:27am 
@Green_Peaks

@SuperSayan68 meme

What version of BoE do you have? I think that some versions of the game come without the editor, and you have to buy a seperate DLC in order to get it
SuperSayan68 29 Mar, 2017 @ 5:39am 
yeha i m haveing the same problem
Green_Peaks 16 Jan, 2017 @ 2:32pm

slop_dosh  [author] 3 Jan, 2017 @ 7:36am 
@forerunner1000

No problem famm
forerunner1000 2 Jan, 2017 @ 5:04pm 
Thanks!
slop_dosh  [author] 2 Jan, 2017 @ 2:25pm 
@forerunner1000

Use the numpad numbers to change teams (British are grey, Germans are red (I think, can't remember)). The team you're controlling will be shown in the top left by a little square showing that colour.
forerunner1000 2 Jan, 2017 @ 10:18am 
I can only control the germans and the british wont do anything, is there anyway I can control the british?
dziedzic 28 Dec, 2016 @ 1:11pm 
This is a editor map, you have to place the units your self.
AugustusHelmand 28 Dec, 2016 @ 12:12pm 
How do you play as the British?

slop_dosh  [author] 27 Nov, 2016 @ 3:51pm 
@naprawa

Make sure you start the scenario with the button at the bottom right corner while using the map in editor.
slop_dosh  [author] 22 Nov, 2016 @ 3:29pm 
@mmsalcedo2001

I've already explained that to a different person. Just look through the comments and you'll find it.
historyplayer 21 Nov, 2016 @ 9:02am 
how do i use this mod
dziedzic 19 Nov, 2016 @ 4:32pm 
When you start it there should be a menu that appears in which it asks what you want to start it in. Ex.safemod,launch game,editor.
BetterThanFreeCandy 19 Nov, 2016 @ 3:41pm
